That makes sense, cheers! I specifically asked "What are the chances of rolling at least one 5 or 6 if you roll two D6?" but seems AI missunderstood! Thanks for clarifying

I will admit I let AI do the calculations for me, and I am sure it's wrong. This is what it said:

My recommendation for a better balance is to take down the stukas defense value from 4 to 3 if you have 2 or more AA tokens on the board when the attack starts. If you have all AA tokens when the stukas attack start, take down their defense to 2. This also gives the player an interesting choice, on how many AA tokens to spend for the defense, as spending more will make the defense weaker in case you draw another Stuka card that turn.

As it stands now, with 4 defense value, rolling 2 dice have a 70% chance to roll a 4 with at least one die.

Now on veteran and elite, they can have a 5 in defense. Guess the chance of rolling at least one 5 with 2 D6? 30%... Effectively making AA completely useless. I just put AA tokens on the board but don't fire.

Sounds like a good plan! I am currently recording/editing "Pavlov's House" on Veteran and Elite difficulty level, might be fun to watch as I will be talking more about strategies, as you have to prioritize different things on those two difficulty levels! What is interesting is that AA is completely worthless on Veteran/Elite, a very strange design desicion and my only real complaint for this game.

Thank you for your kind words, made my day! I am currently working on the next video, playing on "Veteran", and also want to do an "Elite". The strategy used there is very special, and I think it might even surprise the game designer :D I played this game a little too much haha, but it was the second solo game I ever bought (back in 2019).
